Live comments

  • 0' - The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Japan is hosting Costa Rica for another epic battle.
  • 5' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
  • 10' - The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Keysher Fuller suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' - Costa Rica started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
  • 20' - Japan seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
